Touching up Images

The image I was using during the production of the CD cover for our group work was slightly off. For example it was not professional as the lighting was not perfect, I had a spot or two on my face as well as red cheeks due to the cold air.

Therefore I needed to remove all this and make sure it was professional and album cover material. To remove the spots and redness and generally brighten up the image I selected the brush tool. Then once I had this selected I went down to colour squares for the layer at the bottom of the toolbar. This image to the right shows the grid that comes up when this option is selected. I then selected 'Colour Libraries' then the similar block comes up (Left) and I then selected 'Colour Picker'.

Now I chose the colour from my image that I wish to use for the area I am editing. Preferably close to the area I am editing so there is no contrast and general change in the colour. Once this Colour is selected I then click 'OK' and then it brings me back to my image with the paint brush tool. Next I click on the area I wish to remove and it is then replaced with the colour I chose through colour picker.
